I’ve been practicing dentistry for years. A lot of people have misconceptions about the procedure and I applaud you for taking the time to get information out there for others who may be considering veneers. And I have to say, Tom Cruise’s transformation is pretty amazing.

Thanks for sharing your experience and informing your audience what to expect. I’ve had veneers twice, once by choice and the other due to injury. Although veneers can dramatically transform one’s smile, I personally wouldn’t recommend it unless it’s medically necessary or your career (like a celebrity) depends on it. The procedure is irreversible and the damages done to the teeth are permanent. Natural teeth are prettier and healthier. I’m pleased with the overall look of my veneers, but I originally got them out of regrettable vanity reasons. But again, if given the choice over again, I wouldn’t do it. Health should always trump vanity and beauty.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have been looking into veneers for a long time an this was so helpful! As well as extremely well written!!! Loved the timeline and truth in this!! Hope to get mine soon! Already had a few consults and chose a dentist! :)

omg my teeth became so awful I had to get veneers. I am on day 3 of the temporaries and Im fine the first night was uncomfortable but bearable. In 3 weeks I get the permanents and I am a new human being. Go for it and good luck.

I’m getting 10 veneers done in about month and was thinking of canceling it but thanks to your blog and giving me some insight into the process, I’ll be getting it done. Still really nervous about the filling down of my natural teeth
